问题    Despite your best intentions and efforts, it is【C1】______: At some point in your life, you will be wrong. 【C2】_______ can be hard to digest, so sometimes we double down rather than 【C3】_______ them. Our confirmation bias kicks in, causing us to 【C4】_______ out evidence to prove what we already believe. The car you 【C5】_______ off has a small dent in its bumper, 【C6】_______ obviously means that it is the other driver’ s fault.
   Psychologists call this cognitive dissonance—the stress we experience when we hold two 【C7】_______ beliefs, opinions or attitudes. For example, you might believe you are a kind and【C8】______person, so when you rudely cut someone off, you experience 【C9】_______ . To【C10】______with it, you deny your mistake and insist the other driver【C11】______have seen you, or you had the right of way even if you didn’ t.
   When we apologize for being wrong, we have to accept this dissonance, and that is【C12】______. On the other hand, research has shown that it can feel good to stick【C13】______our guns. One study found that people who refused to apologize felt more in control than those who did not refuse. Feeling【C14】______may be an attractive short-term benefit,【C15】______there are long-term consequences. Refusing to apologize could potentially【C16】______the trust on which a relationship is based. So how exactly do you change your behavior and learn to【C17】______your mistakes? The first step is to learn to recognize your usual justification and【C18】______.
   Mr. Okimoto said it also helped to remember that people were often more【C19】______than you might think. On the flip side, if it is undeniably clear that you are in the wrong, refusing to apologize【C20】______low self-confidence.
【C14】
选项 A、positive
B、useful
C、wonderful
D、powerful
答案D
解析 本句意为“短期看，感觉______或许是一个对人有吸引力的好处”。通过上文“研究发现，相比于不拒绝道歉的人，犯错后拒绝道歉的人会感觉自己更有掌控力”可知，空格处所填词应是felt more in control的同义替换，故powerful“强有力的”符合题意。
